The sauna secret: why Finland is the happiest country in the world
Steamy, spiritual and stress-busting, there are more than 3m saunas in Finland. Not only are they skin tingling, they help people explore what it is to be human.
I have come to Finland to learn about its sauna culture, a tradition so valued that in 2020 it was inscribed on the Unesco list of the intangible cultural heritage of humanity. My starting place, Tampere, one-and-a-half hours by train north of Helsinki, has about 60 public saunas in a city of around 250,000 inhabitants, earning it the title of “sauna capital of the world”.
Unlike in other countries, where saunas are usually marketed as an expensive activity for the few, in Finland they have a far more everyday role. Many people have saunas in their homes; lots of older Finnish people were even born in saunas. But they are also considered a sacred space and a place to find community as well as peace. Finland has topped the world happiness report rankings for the past six years.

The sauna secret: why Finland is the happiest country in the world
Steamy, spiritual and stress-busting, there are more than 3m saunas in Finland. Not only are they skin tingling, they help people explore what it is to be human.
I have come to Finland to learn about its sauna culture, a tradition so valued that in 2020 it was inscribed on the Unesco list of the intangible cultural heritage of humanity. My starting place, Tampere, one-and-a-half hours by train north of Helsinki, has about 60 public saunas in a city of around 250,000 inhabitants, earning it the title of “sauna capital of the world”.
Unlike in other countries, where saunas are usually marketed as an expensive activity for the few, in Finland they have a far more everyday role. Many people have saunas in their homes; lots of older Finnish people were even born in saunas. But they are also considered a sacred space and a place to find community as well as peace. Finland has topped the world happiness report rankings for the past six years.

The heat is on as Britain's boom in seaside saunas stirs up some local sweat
Hot boxes are popping up on the coast, as well as beside lakes and rivers, but not everyone is happy about the trend.
Seaside saunas were just a wisp of a dream until 2018. Now anyone walking along a beach at one of the UK's main resorts is likely to come across a converted horse box offering heat and steam as a respite from bleak skies and icy winds.
There are now 70 such saunas operating in the UK according to the British Sauna Society, mostly at beaches or lakes, fuelled by the growth in wild swimming and healthy living.
In 2018, Liz Watson and her friend Katie Bracher set up a pop-up sauna at the Brighton fringe festival. It proved so popular that Brighton council asked them to stay, and now Watson runs Beach Box Spa, a venture that has inspired the seaside sauna movement.
The single converted horsebox has been joined by four others, corralled around a campfire on the pebbles along with two plunge pools and an ice bath, and 14 staff. Sitting at the campfire, Watson, a former homeopath, talks passionately about the connection people have with loyly, the Finnish word for steam evaporating from a hot stove, and the importance of introducing sauna rituals from Nordic and Baltic countries.

The heat is on as Britain's boom in seaside saunas stirs up some local sweat
Hot boxes are popping up on the coast, as well as beside lakes and rivers, but not everyone is happy about the trend.
Seaside saunas were just a wisp of a dream until 2018. Now anyone walking along a beach at one of the UK's main resorts is likely to come across a converted horse box offering heat and steam as a respite from bleak skies and icy winds.
There are now 70 such saunas operating in the UK according to the British Sauna Society, mostly at beaches or lakes, fuelled by the growth in wild swimming and healthy living.
In 2018, Liz Watson and her friend Katie Bracher set up a pop-up sauna at the Brighton fringe festival. It proved so popular that Brighton council asked them to stay, and now Watson runs Beach Box Spa, a venture that has inspired the seaside sauna movement.
The single converted horsebox has been joined by four others, corralled around a campfire on the pebbles along with two plunge pools and an ice bath, and 14 staff. Sitting at the campfire, Watson, a former homeopath, talks passionately about the connection people have with loyly, the Finnish word for steam evaporating from a hot stove, and the importance of introducing sauna rituals from Nordic and Baltic countries.
